I'have installed Ubuntu on a pen drive USB of 32 GB, but I'm inexperienced (I have windows 10 in internal SSD) so I have a few questions: 1- Is there a drop of performance instead of installing it in the internal SSD? 2- Where do the files created with Ubuntu are saved? On the pen drive of 32...

Hello everyone. I recently tried to install Xubuntu 20.04 onto my system, but for some reason, the installer doesn't detect my 1TB hard drive at all. It only recognizes the flash drive that I'm using to install Xubuntu with. The same thing happens when I'm trying to install Mint as well, but...

I'm looking for a version of Linux that would be relatively easy for a 7 and 10 year old to navigate around, who have very little experience with computers. On top of that the same version of Linux that the two kids can play MineCraft and other non-graphical intense games on. Because I have two...

I'm running Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon on a 2009 Macbook Pro. The only thing the Power Manager is recognizing concerning brightness is the laptop keyboard (Macbook feature), not the actual display. Currently, I have this "xrandr" argument/command assigned to the F1 and F2 keys, the keys for...
